Allstate Introduces New Product; Protection Against Mechanical Breakdowns Now Offered in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and Hawaii

    BOTHELL, Wash.--Nov. 8, 1999--Car owners buy auto insurance to help protect against accidents and injuries, but what about mechanical breakdowns?
    Allstate Insurance Company is launching Allstate Parts & Labor Plus mechanical breakdown insurance in the Northwest Region, including WA, OR, ID, AK and HI. This new insurance policy protects car owners against the high cost of major repairs on vehicles in the event of covered mechanical breakdowns. While this product is priced less than what extended warranties typically cost, it includes additional coverage. The Gold and Silver plans provide coverage for many of the major mechanical components against covered breakdowns. It can be purchased for new or used vehicles no older than five years with less than 88,000 miles.
    Many car warranties require customers to get repairs at a specific dealership. With Allstate Parts & Labor, policyholders can take their car to any licensed repair facility they choose. The policies also offer emergency roadside assistance, jump start, flat tire change, fuel delivery, towing, rental car reimbursement and emergency lockout service.
    Contact your local Allstate agent for more information about this incredible insurance policy.
